Chapter 14 My Brother-in-law Was My First Love?
Ashlee was stunned, and then smiled. "So, Dad told you. Oh, but when you see him later, don't mention his family to his face. He hates people talking about his family background." Although Ashlee seemed to be indifferent to her fiancé's family background and said so, her complacency in her eyes was unconcealed.
Clara just smiled and did not express any opinions.
Ashlee was vain, which she knew from her childhood. This time, Ashlee hooked up the young master of the Kirkland Family. If Ashlee didn't show off, that would be strange. Indeed, Ashlee should be really proud of this. After all, the Kirkland Family was a notable family.
The young master of the Kirkland Family, if she remembered correctly, was the only son of the eldest young master of the Kirkland Family. It seemed that he had been studying abroad, so the outside world did not know his name.
Ashlee couldn't wait to pull her into the living room, looking excited, "Darren, let me introduce my sister to you. Although we have different mothers, she is still my blood-related sister."
Darren?
Clara's body was a little stiff. She looked up and saw the familiar man smiling at her. "Eh, yes, I didn't expect that Ashlee's sister is an acquaintance."
He was Darren Kirkland.
Clara was struck dumb with shock.
Never had she ever expected that that Ashlee's fiancé was Darren.
Was he the young master of the Kirkland family?
At this time, Ashlee, who was holding Clara's arm, pretended to be surprised. And then she suddenly smiled, "Yes, I almost forgot. Darren studied in University of Zhanard before, and he also majored in journalism. He was actually your alumni."
"Yes, I know Darren," Clara struggled to repress the bitterness and shock in her heart and pretended to be calm. "It's just that I haven't seen him for a long time."
It turned out that this was what Ashlee said. What a surprise! It's really ironic.
Yes, everyone couldn't go back, but Clara never thought that the relationship between Darren and her would be so embarrassed in the future.
Clara's reaction to his new identity and appearance was too indifferent.
This made Darren very dissatisfied. This was not what he wanted.
Darren turned around and said softly to Ashlee, "Ashlee, I have something to say to our sister alone. Is it convenient?"
Ashlee's countenance changed, but she still maintained a gentle appearance, "OK, I'll go and see what I can do in the kitchen."
Clara and Darren were left in the living room.
"Why? Clara, was there no reaction from you when you see that I become your brother-in-law?" Darren looked down at Clara, and his tone immediately changed from gentle just now to sarcastic. "What reaction do you expect? Call you brother-in-law?" Clara glared at Darren. "Or, do you want me to call you Young Master?"
Darren's face fell.
He hated others always to call him "the young master of the Kirkland Family", and even hated people to approach him just because of his family background.
Therefore, when he was in college, he refused the opportunity his father had offered to study in Britain. Instead, he went to University of Zhanard in the next city and pretended to be a poor boy.
It was at that time that he met Clara.
When he first met Clara, he really cherished her, as she loved him only because he was "Darren", not because he was "the young master of the Kirkland Family".
But later, reality hit him in the face.
Clara abandoned him who was "as poor as a church mouse".
Even for the sake of money, only ten thousand dollars, she did that kind of thing...
Thinking of the photos he saw that year, Darren felt as if a knife were being twisted in his heart. He firmly grasped Clara's wrist and sneered, "Clara, now you know that I am not only the editor in chief of your magazine, but also a family member of the Kirkland Family. Do you regret it? But I can give you a chance to make up for it..."
Clara slowly raised her eyes and looked at Darren's angry and sarcastic face. Before she could reply, Darren continued to say with greater malice, "Since you do anything for money, how about being my mistress?"☐☐
